3. Introduction
The processing of tubes requires the fully automatic location of weld seams and the positioning of the
tubes. The weld seam detector SND30 was specifically developed for this task and is an advanced
version of the proven system SND8.
4. Systems description and measuring principle
The SND30 enables the positioning of weld seams in tubes in any pre-determined position. Location
and positioning are based on the magnetic leaking flux principle and auto-optimizing methods (teach-
in) of digital signal proccessing concepts.
The SND30 communicates with a programmable logic controller (PLC) via an 8- bit parallel interface.
The drive to position the weld seam can be controlled via the built-in relay (max. 250 VAC / 30 VDC /
10 Amps). For positioning application where mis-positioning cannot be tolerated, the SND30 issues
an interface signal reduced detection capability.
5. Systems components
The system consists of the control unit, the sensor and the cable.

6. System installation
6.1 Sensor mounting
The sensor can be mounted in any position. Mounting the sensor vertically above the tube is
advantageous to reduce collection of dirt. For best performance there should be no ferrous material
immediately adjacent to the sensor. Keep a distance of 50 mm.
The sensor should be in continuous contact with the tube during the detection phase.
For this reason the sensor should be metal rubber mounted in order to allow the sensor follow the
movement of the tube.
Use Metal Rubber:
GM Type B (30 mm dia., 25 mm height). Metal rubber are supplied with the sensor but can be ordered
also separately from ROLAND ELECTRONIC.
6.2 Tube drive
The rotational drive of the tube can be accomplished axially or radially. The rotational speed should
be in the specified range. Within a second the rotational speed should be reached and remain constant
during the whole detection phase. The sensor should touch the tube within 1 second after "Measurement
Start" and should not vibrate at the tube during the detection process. If these conditions cannot be
achieved within 1 second contact Roland Electronic for additional information.
Control of the tube drive can be accomplished:
- via the relay output "motor"
- ber die SPS
If the interface output "motor" is used then it is easier to position the weld seam more precisely,
because the PLC is not used for this control purpose.
If the drive is controlled via the PLC, then the PLC must monitor the output "motor" and control the
drives immediatly according to the output signals.

6.3 Ground earth requirements of the system components SND30
All systems components should use the same ground earth (PA).
The leads should have a cross section of 1.5 mm minimum.
6.4 Operating parameter
6.4.1 Tube diameter and wall thickness
The SND 30 can detect and position weld seams in tube diameters ranging from 10 mm to 250 mm (0.4
to 9.8 inch). The tube wall thickness should in general not exceed 3 mm with NS9S resp. 4mm with
NS12.
6.4.2 Tube rotational speed
The possible tube rotational speed (N) is a function of the tube diameter and should be within the range.
< N < but higher than 5 RPM
N = RPM
= tube diameter in mm (1 inch

25.4 mm)
Tube rotation should stay constant during the detection phase.

Page 12
6.4.4 Elapsed time for weld seam detection
The necessary detection time per tube depends on the rotation of the tube.
The times for placing the tube onto the sensor and removing it after detection have to be added to the
above.
6.4.5 Elapsed time for parameter programming
The total time for parameter programming depends on the tube diameter, rotational speed and time
necessary to input the parameters. An approximate value is the elapsed time for 25 revolutions.
6.4.6 Reliability of detection
The SND 30 is based on the magnetic leaking flux principle and auto-optimizing methods of digital
signal analysis in order to obtain a high degree of reliability for detecting and positioning the weld seam.
However, poorly manufactured tubes with surface defects or material faults can lead to mispositioning
the weld seam. The option "reduced detection capability" enables the PLC to mark those tubes and
exclude them from the manufacturing process.
If correct positioned tubes are indicated as "critical" then parameter programming should be repeated
with one such tube. If the tubes to be positioned contain many manufacturing faults and material faults,
then it may not be possible to detect and position the weld seam correctly.
During parameter programming this condition is indicated by the message "weld seam location critical"
(compare section "Parameter programming").

6.5 Interface wiring
Minimum wiring
The control unit can be operated with a minimal interface wiring. This means that the selection of the
measuring menues made via the keyboard and not via the PLC.
For this version the output OUT 7 "Motor" or relay contact (Terminal 9, 10) and the input IN0
"Measurement start / Teach-In ENABLE" are required. The timing diagrams for parameter programming
and the measurement process are documented in Attachment B 1 and B 2.
In addition, the interface signal OUT 6 "Reduced detection capability" can be used if required. The
output signals are opto coupled and require an external 24 V power supply.
Standard wiring
For this version the inputs IN 0 to IN 6 and the outputs OUT0 to OUT7 are required. It is possible to
use fewer inputs and outputs if not all of the measuring menues are required.
The standard version allows the selection of measuring menues either with the PLC (see Attachment
B3) or the keyboard.
The timing diagrams for parameter programming and measurement are in Attachment B4 and B5.
Interface wiring with Re-Teach
If repeated fully automatic teach-in is desired via the PLC interface, then IN7 must also be wired.
7. Start-up
1. All systems components should be connected to power according to the legal requirements of the
country. Attachement A contains the connection diagram of the interface board as well as the
information for grounding the system components; see also installations instructions of the
sensor.
2. Review the position of the voltage selector switch and compare to available power. If necessary
change position of voltage selector switch.

8.4 Parameter programming
This section explains the menues and the operation of the SND30.
The timing diagram and the communication with the PLC is contained in Attachment B.
1. Key switch is in position keyboard ENABLE.
2. Press key P in order to activate parameter menu.
3. Select one parameter program (P1-P30 are available) with the arrow keys and confirm with
ENTER.
4. Depending on the adjustment in the systems configuration under "parameter optimization" the
following operational sequence is possible:
1. Adjusted systems configuration "parameter optimization automatically only"
Only the automatic parameter optimization procedure available, continue with "8.4.1 parameter
programming - automatic optimization"
2. Adjusted systems configuration "parameter optimization automatic/manual" or "parameter
optimization specifically manually".
The following display appears:
Now has to be decided whether the parameter optimization should take place automatically
or manually. The automatic parameter optimization is described under 8.4.1. The manual
optimization under 8.4.2.
8.4.1 Parameter programming with optimization automatically
1. Optional input of an 8 digit alphanumeric material code and confirmation with ENTER. This entry
can remain blank.
2. Input of tube diameter with arrow keys and confirmation with ENTER.
3. Input of speed (RPM) of the tube and confirmation with ENTER (approx. by 15 % is sufficient).

4. Input of after-run (position of the weld seam) with arrow keys; (relative to the direction of the
sensor). Confirmation with ENTER.
5.1 If SND 30 is not able to properly locate the weld seam, it issues a warning. This warning can be
used to mark the tubes and or exclude them from the normal manufacturing process. (Compare
section "Reliability of detection"). Confirm selection with ENTER key.
If the unit indicates that correctly positioned tubes are critical (difficult to detect), then it is
advisable to repeat parameter programming with a critical tube.
5.2 Under this menu the threshold of critical seam detection for the output "reduced detection
capability" is adjusted. Available selections are "very high", "high", "standard", and "very low".
If "very high" is selected for the measuring process many tubes may be classified as "critical
detection". However, it is unlikely that a tube with an incorrectly positioned tube is classified as
"weld seam detected".
In the case of a "very low" selection many tubes with an incorrectly positioned tube may not be
classified as "critical detection" (reduced detection capability). For this reason the adjustment
"standard" is a reasonable starting point.
6. This display appears if the PLC has not yet prepared a tube for parameter programming. It is
replaced as soon as the PLC has prepared the tube for parameter programming.
7. The SND 30 determines the exact rotational speed of the tube.

13. After the positioning process it is necessary to review whether the weld seam is in the desired
position. Select answer with arrow keys.
If this question has been answered with yes, then parameter programming is completed and the
unit returns to the main menu.
14. This menu only appear, if the question in 13. was answered "no". Input new after-run with the arrow
keys.
Return to point 13.
8.4.2 Parameter programming with manual optimization
The individual parameters are entered manually during the manual optimization procedure. An
automatic optimization, determination of the number of revolutions or a test run do not take place. The
verification of the detection must take place in the measurement mode.
1. Enter the alphanumeric materials number with the arrow keys in the spaces of the 8-digit field and
confirm with ENTER. However this entry is not compulsory.
2. Enter the tube diameter with the arrow keys and confirm with ENTER.
3. Enter the number of revolutions of the tube with the arrow keys and confirm with ENTER
(exactly 2%).
4. Enter the after-run (weld seam positioning) with the arrow keys (relative to the position of the
sensor head) and confirm with ENTER.

5.1 Select with the arrow keys whether a decreased recognition capability should be signaled to
the machine controls (see section "detection capability"). Confirm selection with the ENTER key.
This message enables the PLC the selection, marking and elimination of the tube from the
process. If correctly positioned tubes are displayed as critical, then the parameter programming
should be repeated with another tube.
5.2 The threshold for the output "decreased recognition reliability" is adjusted here. The following
threshold steps are available "very high", "high", "standard" or "very low" for adjustment.
In the case of "very high" very small detection variations can lead to the message "critical
detection" (decreased recognition reliability). On the other hand however it is unlikely that the two
was a difficult to detect weld seam will be associated with the signal "seam (correctly) detected".
In the other extreme "very low" it can happen that tubes are incorrectly positioned,without the
message "critical detection" (recognition reliability decreased) is issued.
At the beginning of a Teach in of process "normal" should be initially selected as the basic
adjustment.On the basis of the positioning results further fine tuning should then be made.
6. The scanning rate for the measuring operation is entered here.
The scanning rate has an influence on the noise suppression during the weld seam detection
operation.
The following into relationships can be expected:
- Broad weld seams require smaller values (4-6)
- Narrow welding seams (lasers) require values between 6 and 10
- Tube diameter smaller 20 mm require values between 6 and 8
- Values between 4 and 6 suppress fault messages due to scratches on the tube surface
Meaningful values are between 4 and 10. Other adjustments very seldom result in improvements.

8.5 Measurement mode
The measurement mode consists of the selection of the parameter program and the measuring
procedure.
8.5.1 Parameter program selection
There are two alternatives for parameter program selection in the measurement mode:
A At the SND30
1. Place key switch to keyboard ENABLE (LED RUN blinks).
2. SND30 display should be in main menue (press key BACK).
3. Press key M to activate measuring menu.
4. Use arrow keys to select a program previously keyed-in in the parameter program and confirm
with ENTER.
If a measurement program without parameters is selected, an error message is displayed.
5. Turning the key switch to the position RUN after the selection of a measurement program
activates the interface to the PLC. The system is now ready for measurement. Operating the
SND30 via the keyboard is no longer possible.
B Via the external PLC (not during minimum wiring of the interface)
1. Set the SND30 to the base menu and turn to the key switch to RUN (it may be necessary to
turn the key switch to ENABLE, press the BACK key and then turn the key switch back to
RUN).
2. Select the measuring program via the interface of the PLC (see Timing Diagram in the
Appendix B). If a measuring program is selected which does not containing parameter sets,
then an error message is generated. At the same time the input data are not mirrored from IN2
to IN6 at the outputs OUT2 to OUT6, thus the unit is not ready for operation (ENABLE).

8.5.2 Measurement operation
The measurement operation is controlled via the PLC only. The key switch at the SND30 must be in
the position RUN. A valid parameter measurement program must have been selected. The duration of
the measu measuring is described in section "Operating Parameters".
1. The measurement procedure is now performed in accordance with the timing diagram in the
Attachment B.
2. After the successful weld seam detection the following message appears:
In case of a critical weld seam detection the following message appears:
If the option reduced detection reliability has been selected in parameter programming, then an
interface signal reduced detection capability signal will be issued. (see section "Reliability of
detection"). This enables the PLC to issue a command to mark the tube and exclude it from further
processing.
Attention!
If "no" has been selected in the systems configuration menu "automatic menu selection" then it
is necessary to select an existing Parameter program of the SND 30 when recycling power or in
case of a brief power failure. See page 29 for adjustment of "automatic menu selection".
8.5.3 Re-Teach (automatic Re Teach via the PLC)
The Re-Teach is available only if it in the systems configuration the "Re-Teach" has been enabled.
There are two modes:
1. normal
If a Re-Teach is activated via the the PLC interface, then the control unit determines again
the best scanning rate and the best gain.
2. separate
If a Re-Teach is activated via the PLC interface, then the control unit determines again the
number of revolutions, the best scanning rate, and the best gain is.
Attention!
A Re-Teach without a properly turning tube can lead to an incorrect determination of parameters
(RPM's); the weld seam detection process resulting in the faulty detection procedure. The timing
diagram is described in the Appendix.

b) Fuse TR3 200 mAmps. for PLC inputs
c) Fuse TR3 400 mAmps. for PLC outputs
d) 1 Amps. slow blow in case of 230 VAC; 2 Amps. in case of 115 VAC power supply
9.2 Sensor
The sensors are not affected by oil pollution. Chips and shavings should occasionally be cleaned out
by using compressed air or by simply wiping off.
Adhering chips impair the function of the sensor bearings and the actual sensor element.
9.3 Hardware - Diagnostics
On the back of the enclosure cover is a BNC-receptacle located and a switch with twelve switching
positions.
Signals can be entered into the BNC-receptacle for analysis with an oscilloscope of the various switch
positions.
These signals can be used to make a quick evaluation of faults in case of service requirements.
For the user the first four switching positions are valuable for measuring the operating voltages.

Input for Data-Input IN2 to IN6.
** Signals of the outputs OUT2 to OUT6 have two different functions.
By activating Menue select IN1, inputs IN2 to IN6 are mirrowed at the outputs OUT2 to OUT6 in order to monitor correct
transmission.
By activating the external control command Start measurement IN0, Status messages and Measurement results are
reported. In the standard configuration high level active.

t1: Time required by the operator in order to select the parameter program to be programmed (see section 5.3 Parameter
programming).
t2/t6: Time required by the PLC in order to prepare the tube for parameter programming (Placing tube on the sensor)
t3/t7: <10 milliseconds.
t4/t8: Time required for auto optimizing routine depending on tube diameter and rotational speed.
t5: User to evaluate positioning (see section 8.4 Parameter programming).
t9: Point t6 to t8 repeated several times depending on the operation of the SND30.
t10: Parameter programming is completed.
The total time of parameter programming depends on the tube diameter, the rotational speed and the inputs of the
parameters. Estimated time is the time required for 25 revolutions.
** Not necessary or is repeated several times depending on the operation of the SND30.
